Overview
Introduction
Up against ERP veterans SAP and Oracle, among others, Microsoft is battling to establish itself as the volume-based SMB ERP market leader. A vertical partner enablement strategy is its first step to secure customers demanding more industry aligned solutions in a market where price can make or break a deal.
Scope
- Microsofts current ERP strategy: Partner network is crucial to its success.
- Microsofts future ERP strategy: Strong focus on vertically aligned solutions.
- Project Green: Microsofts ERP convergence strategy.
Highlights
In Datamonitors view, it is unlikely that Microsoft will establish a footprint in the enterprise space through its hub-and-spoke approach. While Microsoft may be able to win subsidiary contracts, transforming them into enterprise wide implementations is a far harder task to achieve and requires substantial know-how to carry out.
Due to the vast incidence of the Microsoft Windows operating system & Microsoft Office, and their high level of day to day usage, integration with both suites of applications is a key requirement for ERP vendors. Microsofts ability to integrate its ERP products with Office & various Server platforms will distinguish it to many in the SMB market.
